Athens Bike Festival 2 - Humans bestfriend

Humans best friend can not be everyone... but a bicycle could easily be!

This years Bike Art fest concept was quite strange for me... a true blink, a vision! I remember being at a friends place the time i saw a wrecked bicycle saddle that looked like a dog face and specific a lambrador dog face.

So... i took this saddle and i dismembered all the parts to clean them, scratch and paint them as new. Then i stick the parts together and put a new foam with leather to cover it. After that i paint the leather as a lambrador dog and i put some extra leather for the ears. The last part of this construction was the backround. A nice painted rim took a place at the back of the lambrador saddle and the typography "humans bestfriend" was made with metallic wire.

This construction participated at Athens bike festival - Bike art 2 in Technopolis Gazi. Hope all the bike lovers who visited the exhibition enjoy it...

...too much talking.

Check the process on your own and enjoy!
Bhh!

Dizzy Gillespie

* Do you know John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie?
- It's the one and only Dizzy Gillespie. 

 "Dizzy" was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer and, occasionally, singer. One of his most famous quotes was the... "It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play." This is one of my friends St.D favorite quote as well and that was a chance for another creative stencil typography.

I designed and cut off the quote on a hard paper. The size of the stencil, is about 1,50x70 cm and the surface is silver blinds. First i paint a transparent black for making the shadow and then the orange color. The one that i really love is that the blinds gives a very nice effect if you roll it up n' down! A nice analogue effect...

have fun!
bhh!

Sotos Bakas - Odyssey (EP)

...welcome back people from this insane summertime session! I hope everyone had a great time too!

The real "payback" is here with the first of winters post... and my special guest is "Sotos Bakas"!! Sotos realesed his first solo EP as a result of many years of action through music. I had the great opportunity to work with him on the artwork of "Odyssey" EP and by extension his profile, website etch. A quite attentive work from both sides!

Sotos gave me the green light to create... so i shot the photos, work hard on Abode photoshop-Adobe illustrator, create a unique template for the packaging and custom packaging for limited edition copies!!!

some words from Sotos...
"I am happy to announce you that i just released my first solo EP album called ”Odyssey”, including 4 original compositions of mine.
Working on this for the last 6 months, i managed to do the composition, production, recordings and mixing for all the songs at my home studio in Netherlands."


...I think i wrote to much, and as we already know... action is way more than words!

click these and enjoy!!!
